Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit

Intel® oneAPI toolkits integrate with third-party IDEs to provide a seamless GUI experience for software development.

To see a list of components that support CMake, see Use CMake to with oneAPI Applications .

To watch a video presentation of how to install extensions and use them to set up your environment, explore sample code, and connect to the Intel® Developer Cloud using Visual Studio Code, see oneAPI Visual Studio Code Extensions.

This procedure requires the Sample Browser extension to be installed. The next section will describe how to install it. If you have already installed it, skip to Create a Project Using Visual Studio Code.

Create a Project Using Visual Studio Code

1. Click on the icon to open the oneAPI Samples Browser:

   

2. A list of available samples will open in the left navigation.
3. To view the readme for the sample, click the next to the sample. If you choose to build and run the sample, the readme will also be downloaded with the sample.

Set the oneAPI Environment

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P ( or View -> Command Palette… ) to open the Command Palette.
2. Type Intel oneAPI: Initialize environment variables. Click on Intel oneAPI: Initialize environment variables.

   

Prepare Build Tasks from Make / CMake Files

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P or View -> Command Palette… to open the Command Pallette.
2. Type Intel oneAPI and select Intel oneAPI: Generate tasks.

   

3. Select the build tasks (target) from your Make/CMake oneAPI project that you want to use.

   

4. Run the task/target by selecting Terminal -> Run task... .

5. Select the task to run.

Build the Project

The oneAPI extensions enable the ability to prepare launch configurations for running and debugging projects created using Intel oneAPI toolkits:

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+B or Terminal -> Run Build Task... to set the default build task.
2. Select the task from the command prompt list to build your project.
3. Press Ctrl+Shift+B or Terminal -> Run Build Task... again to build your project.

Prepare Launch Configuration for Debugging

The oneAPI extensions enable the ability to prepare launch configurations for running and debugging projects created using Intel oneAPI toolkits:

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P or View -> Command Palette... to open the Command Palette.
2. Type Intel oneAPI and select Intel oneAPI: Generate launch configurations .

   

3. Select the executable (target) you want to debug.

   Optional: select any task you want to run before and/or after launching the debugger (for example, build the project before debug, clean the project after debug).

4. The configuration is now available to debug and run using the gdb-oneapi debugger. You can find it in .vscode/launch.json. To debug and run, click on the Run icon or press Ctrl+Shift+D.
